The madness is over and Dallas has chosen Angry Dog as the best burger in North Texas. Despite sizzling competition from local dives like Stackhouse and Twisted Root and a surprise push from national competitors Whataburger and Mooyah, Angry Dog’s burger proved that its bark is just as tasty as its bite.

The tournament started with 32 of Dallas’ most popular burger spots. Readers from across North Texas logged on to cast their votes in the initial burger madness round narrowing the field of 32 to just eight.

Twisted Root, Mooyah, Smashburger, Five Guys, Jake’s, Angry Dog, Whataburger and Stackhouse made the cut with Twisted Root (9.6%) and Whataburger (8.6%) receiving the most votes.

Angry Dog, Stackhouse, Mooyah and Smashburger proved too much their competition as they formed the final four burger joints in DFW burger madness.

With a bracket that had Stackhouse in a showdown with Mooyah and Angry Dog taking on Smashburger, only two could move on to vie for the titles as DFW’s best burger.

Mooyah and Angry Dog found themselves in the championship after nearly three weeks of voting and with 55.06% percent of the final tally, Angry Dog bested Mooyah.

Congratulations to Angry Dog, voted by our readers as the best burger in DFW!
